Junior Madison Snow and freshman Allie Smiley each had six points for the Rebels (5-4, 1-1).

From Holy Name sophomore Lauren Willand’s two free throws a minute into the game, the Naps grabbed the lead and never trailed.

With a couple of steals and layups, plus a baseline jumper, Biney scored half her points in the first quarter as the Naps broke to a 16-8 lead.

“We definitely came out a lot stronger than we have recently,” Holy Name senior captain Malissa Saad said. “We came together as a team and actually finished the game completely.”

Helping punch up the lead to 33-15 by halftime, Holy Name junior Aryauna Perez scored five straight points with a foul-line jumper between free throws. With superb timing, Frias made a couple of putback baskets, and Biney swished two baseline floaters.

With a remarkable third-quarter performance, the Naps finished off the Rebels early. Notre Dame’s Victoria Talentino cut the lead to 33-17 with a foul-line jumper within the first 30 seconds of the second half.

But Holy Name reeled off the next 22 points, and the Rebels stayed put, held without a point as the Naps entered the fourth quarter with a 38-point lead.

“We were fairly lazy in the first half, and we knew Notre Dame would keep coming at us, so we just had to go after the ball,” Holy Name coach Barry Finneron said.

Saad, Frias and Megan Thornton controlled the glass, limiting the Rebels to one shot per downcourt play.

“At halftime, we talked about how we had to rebound more and be more aggressive,” senior captain Eva Katana said. “We came out and did what we had to do.”

Finneron, who began coaching at Holy Name in 1977, may have never viewed a more dominant third quarter. Guenther was the spark on the 22-2 run, leading the fast break and driving in for layups when Frias wasn’t hitting from down low.

NDA finally got back on the board in the fourth quarter when Smiley powered inside. The Naps lead, however, was insurmountable.
